Will the Raiders Make a Run at Wide Out Terrelle Pryor This Offseason?

The Raiders might have to shore up the wide out core if they lose Michael Crabtree this offseason, and one name that is being bantered about it that of Terrelle Pryor – a player who two years ago was very good with the Browns, but after inking a deal with the Redskins last offseason was a big disappointment.

The Oakland Raiders may be in need of a wide receiver if they wind up parting ways with Michael Crabtree. While a name like Jarvis Landry and a few potential 2018 NFL Draft prospects have been mentioned as replacements, it seems that SportsLine believes that one name specifically would make a ton of sense for the Raiders and Jon Gruden.

In a breakdown of the odds for the top five wide receivers who are hitting free agency, Adam Thompson of SportsLine touched on Landry, Allen Robinson, Marqise Lee, Sammy Watkins and Terrelle Pryor. His choice for the only name who the Raiders could be one of the favorites for?

It’s interesting to see that Pryor is the only name who wound up being linked to the Raiders, and the 6/1 odds are certainly high. With that said, Pryor would be a nice red zone target for Derek Carr, and more importantly, he likely wouldn’t break the bank after a down year in 2017.

Obviously, many things could change if the Raiders free up additional cap space, but if Crabtree is let go, then the team will unquestionably need to address the position sooner than later.
